Well, where to start with today's events??
I got up early, Carol was screaming her head off all morning, even after I fed her. At about seven I gave up on trying to get back to sleep, and after I'd got dressed she stopped and went back to sleep, I'm sure she does it on purpose!
I went over to Robs, and then we met up with everyone round the shops later. We played a bit of football, and had a huge game or survival. It was really cool, we used the woods and the park, so there was plenty of places to hide. We played for about three hours, and my side won both sets, it was a right laugh. But Ive got scratches on my arms and lots of nettle bites down my legs from running through the thorn bushes in the forest.
After that everyone went home but me, Rob and Jimmy stayed out. We went through the garages and Craig and all of his crew were round their. We were going to go back through the shops and avoid them, but I didn't want to run away. Its not like were scared of them, but his whole click was their, while there were only three of us left. Craig and Matt started mouthing off as usual until that ass John chinned Rob. That set off a big fight with us all, but the cops somehow found us, so we had to split. Us three got away and went back to mine, but before we left I saw Craig getting his details took down by one of the coppers, which made me laugh.
Mom didn't say anything when we clamoured in, but looked a bit pissed at the mess we made. Jimmy came out of it looking okay, and all I got was a black eye, but Robs mouth was bleeding all over, so mom took pity on him and fixed him up. We stayed in for the rest of the night, we didn't want to go back out and run into them again without the rest of us, so we decided to leave it. Rob says he is going to kill John the next time he sees him. I didn't say anything, but there's no chance Rob could take John, and even slimmer odds of him trying, he is all mouth, and that's why John swung for him in the first place! Maybe he will learn his lesson.
What really surprised me today was my mom. Once Jimmy and Rob had left, she came up to my room, Cazzy in her arms, to 'talk' to me. She kept it brief, but told me that I should be careful when I'm out, 'just look at what happened today,' she said. She knows Ive got my own click, but that's no reason to start getting myself into gang fights. I told her it was one small fight, but she wasn't convinced. She told me about this thing that had been on the news. Some guy got stabbed in a gang fight, and 'it could have easily been me.' I told her I would be careful, and reassured her that were not even a gang, and she finally left it alone. I don't know what possessed her to be all motherly like that, its never happened before, it was weird!
Ah well, I'm not complaining, seen as she took care of Cazzy all day too so I could go out. It was quite cool actually, but now I'm wondering what she wants. Its not a nice thing to say, but seen as she is being so nice, it can only mean she wants something.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll find out what she's up to soon enough.
Jack.
